Faces

The Faces rivalled Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Blue Öyster Cult and the Rolling Stones as one of the best and most popular live hard rock acts of the first half of the 1970s. Rod Stewart, the Scottish pop star with the affecting hoarse tenor voice, made his best rock and roll with the Faces, and Ron Wood, who later joined the Rolling Stones, played some of the best guitar of his career with the Faces. Sex Pistol Steve Jones is a great admirer of the band’s gorgeous, sloppy glory.
